Lol, no. I'll just be first in line for the tax refund. :)

I'm a geek, and I don't really play anything real exciting, just Second Life. Every time they do updates to their viewer, a better video card seems to be needed. By the time I do the upgrades I want, it's not that more just to get a new one. I don't always get what I want, and soon something else will attract my attention.

Sad part is we have a bunch of game systems we never play.
With all the systems I have here, you'd think I was the actual gamer. :lol:

I keep telling myself I'm going to buy a new computer but then buy other stuff instead. One of my neighbors recently gave me a white Vizio TV. I use it for the monitor. He said he gave it to me cause he knows how much I like white :blink: .... I'm just try'na to imagine how THAT conversation went down between he & his woman. :blink: :blink: :blink:

notblowingsmokeorg Another win... Repost @clouded_photography :
"Smokers who were facing upcoming elective surgeries were provided with the “electronic nicotine delivery” devices and encouraged to use them anytime they got a craving for a cigarette. Researchers kept records of their tobacco consumption and behavioral changes while using the ecigs and followed up 30-days later to see if there had been any significant change.

At the time of follow up, the Mayo Clinic team found that 17 percent had already completely quit smoking. Another 51 percent said they intended to continue using the devices in the future. Most remarkably, cigarette consumption was drastically reduced after patients had access to ecigarettes. “Average cigarette consumption decreased from 15.6 per person to 7.6 over the study period,” the study concluded. Ultimately, researchers said that ecig “use is feasible and well-accepted in surgical patients.” This is the first time we’ve seen a prestigious hospital praise ecigarettes for their potential to help smokers. Now that Mayo Clinic took the leap, it’s safe to say that other doctors might feel more confident to recommend ecigarettes to their patients, especially those facing surgery." According to Katie Bercham's, CocktailNerd Editor, article on the Mayo Clinic Study.

Follow the Money to Find Out Why the American Lung Association is Hating on Leo for Using Ecigs

Taking From Above Link,
Anytime you doubt the motives of an organization like this, you can start by looking at the money trail. The ALA’s financial statements from 2015 are pretty telling. Last year, the association valued its assets at more than $38 million, bringing in $59 million in public support just in 2015. We would hope that money is going to a good cause, but a significant portion is paying salaries. In fact, last year, the ALA spent more than $6 million on salaries and benefits for “program services” and an additional $7.1 million on salaries and benefits for “supporting services” :nah:

But also remember, doctors can be idiots, too. In fact, in my experience, it's like a 50% chance.
If they're advice doesn't seem to make sense, or they can't explain WHY, it's OK to question them, or question another doc.
Just sayin'.


Any medical questions, I would hope, folks go to their doctor and ask them, rather than listening to chat in a forum.
According to his vid, he didn't know he had it until he took some test. No telling how long he was suffering from it. I would say, everyone is different. Some may not have the same issues, or effects them differently. I won't be buying the mega shake, but I do hope he takes care of himself. Whether I like the guy or not, I don't wish any malice towards him.

I'm just sharing my experience. All I really know is what has happened to me. And of course, Knotty is correct about consulting a Doctor.

And folks start threads on a pretty regular basis asking advice and describing their symptoms, and some people offer them advice :facepalm:
